Lady shows off her man in secondary school

The video, shared by @stargirlchi1 on TikTok, captured the boyfriend’s zeal as he donned a secondary school uniform and attended classes to sit for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

According to the lady, she had informed her partner of her father’s expectations, causing him to take immediate action.

The boyfriend’s decision to further his education was reportedly driven by his desire to marry the woman.

His determination was confirmed in the video, where he was seen attending classes alongside other students.

While posting the video, his proud girlfriend appreciated the lengths to which her partner would go to meet her family’s requirements.

She said:

“I told my man that if he doesn’t go to school, my Igbo dad won’t let him marry me. And he sent me this. Wish you luck in your exams babe. Momma is very proud of you. Na waec he go write paper.”
